“Theresa was fantastic! She did her best to make sure beans was as taken care of as possible in our absence. I would absolutely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your furry friend.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, and at one point we had 12 indoor dogs, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes. They were never “just pets” to us; they were family, and that’s how I’ve always believed animals should be treated. I’ve also cared for cats and have experience dog sitting, so I’m comfortable looking after pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d care for my own. I take classes two days a week and spend the rest of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention and care. I'm also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions provided by the owner and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and companionship they deserve. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: We have been life long animal lovers - raising a combined 30+ animals (both domestic and farm). We recently lost our 2 dogs, after raising them from puppies and cherishing every moment! Now with our kids, we've decided the best way to fill our hearts is by helping care for other families' beloved pets. With years of hands-on experience (and the added insight of having a father who's a large & small animal veterinarian), we bring both loving care & extra peace of mind to every walk, play session, and cuddle. We have two adults who work full-time from home, so our availability and presence within the house is very flexible. Our children are school aged (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) so they are home during non-school hours. The largest animals we have owned are Rottweilers down to most recently a Pomeranian, so experience in safety is vast! We have a fully fenced in yard (or fenced in deck if your animal prefers to be off the grass) - both offer plenty of shade for potty breaks outside. We have a dedicated dog room for safe sleep and rest - which is on the same floor as our normal living area and primary bedroom. We definitely consider pets & animals to be an extension of family and are treated as so - with attention and free roam of the home and furniture.
“Charles was great and God sent. I made a last min request for a drop in visit and had never use Rover. Charles was open to a meet and greet same day and Tya absolutely loved him at first meet. The connection was made and my heart was settled. Looking forward to future services from Charles!”
“We highly recommend Sarah. She communicated with us all the time and sent photos. Most of all she was so accommodating when we ran into issues with our travel plans. We will definitely use her again if she's available”

“Arden took great care of my two cats while I was away. She gave them lots of love and attention and made me feel at ease, leaving them for the first time. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Jacklyn was great 😃 My two kitties were well cared for, and she stayed long enough each visit to give them some company. She even did be the favor of watering my tomato plants to help them survive the week”
“Jessica was amazing, responded straight away and was very responsible, she took great care of Gizmo and went above and beyond of what was asked, I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica, so glad I found you 😁 Mandy B”

About: I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know your furry friend’s needs, quirks, and preferences. My goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and happy as they would at home, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. Hi, I’m Kelsey! I’m a passionate dog lover with experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I currently have a playful 3-year-old Mini Aussie Doodle, and in the past, I’ve had a Pit Mix and a Shepherd Mix, so I understand the unique needs of different dogs. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a more laid-back companion, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy and well-cared for. I work from home and am available for midday visits, evenings, weekends, and special occasions. My priority is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times. With my background caring for various breeds and personalities, you can rest assured that your furry friend is in good hands!
About: Within my 20 years of vast experience with animals. I currently have three dogs of my own and have fostered dogs as well as rescued abandoned cats. I'm a certified dog groomer as well as currently working on my certification for animal massage therapy that will include dogs, cats, and horses. I currently am working full-time so as of right now I'm available 10:am - 1:pm. weekdays and after 4:30 p.m.. I always use precaution and safety measures when taking care of animals. I will follow all instructions from the owner. I currently have three dogs myself and previously have owned cats and ferrets, so I'm well aware of precautions and safety issues to prevent anything from happening.
About: Dogs have always been in the family since I was 8 and my dog’s name is Riley. He’s a German shepherd mix. He’s been my running buddy for years. I like to go on walks and runs and would love bring some buddies along with me! I can also bring any dogs that require a bit more exercise to the dog park for some runs. I have fenced yard with plenty of space for runs and a ranch style home for any older pups who don’t like to climb stairs.
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, and basic training for puppies, as well as gentle care for senior dogs. I always focus on safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m also reliable, attentive to instructions, and happy to send updates so you know your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I already care for my own two dogs, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I have one friendly dog, well-socialized dogs, so I’m very experienced in handling different personalities and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I used to have two dogs but now one. My home is clean and pet-friendly, and I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone gets along. I can follow any specific instructions, including crating if needed, and I prioritize a calm, safe, and loving environment at all times.
About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs that are in my family, whether they are big, small, energetic, or laid-back. This experience will help me with interacting with whatever type your dog may be. I am available almost anytime right now, as I am a student on summer break! I can walk dogs or visit houses to feed and keep them company whenever it fits into your schedule. Keeping your dog safe is of the utmost importance! I am well-equipped to stay within the environments you frequent with your pet, as well as keep them safe when exploring outside.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Along with caring for family pets, I previously ran a small pet-sitting business and have raised several dogs from puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with every stage of life. My approach to care and training is rooted in patience and positive reinforcement. Creating a calm, supportive environment is important to me, and I value working with pet parents who feel the same way. I also work in the medical field and am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions precisely, especially when it comes to health needs. I’m highly detail-oriented and committed to making sure your pet receives attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored specifically to them. I am currently studying for a board exam so am mostly working from home and have a rescue pup of my own that needs lots of walks and play time. Let us bring your buddy along on one of our hikes! I live in a house with my dog, Daisy. She loves everyone, including all types of animals, and will happily keep your pet company. I have multiple crates available if your pet should need one :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Novi
Becky was Wonderful! If I could give her more than 5 Stars I absolutely would. From the moment I met her I was instantly comfortable. My cat, who usually hides from most everyone, came to greet her almost immediately which completely put me at ease. The whole time we were gone on our trip Becky stayed in touch, sent pictures and gave us updates. She even brought in our mail, any packages that were delivered and put our outdoor trash can away after trash day. More importantly she was amazing with our very picky cat. And, she left some toys as a little gift for our cat which was such a nice surprise to us! I very HIGHLY recommend booking Becky for your pet care!! Thank you so much Becky! We will definitely be booking you again for our next trip! :)
I had a great experience with Stephanie. This was my first time leaving my cat alone for several days, and I was understandably nervous, but she did an excellent job and quickly put me at ease. She was reliable, communicative, and very attentive to Bagel’s needs. She made sure he was eating, drinking, and using the litter normally, and she took the time to observe his behavior rather than forcing interaction. Bagel is a cautious cat, but he became more comfortable over the course of the visits. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that Bagel was calm, safe, and well cared for in his own home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her, especially for shy or sensitive pets.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Novi stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
